Hey there, Teacher Friend!
In this five part series, we discuss the foundational principles needed in order to gain momentum, clarity and set goals toward your future teacher business!
In Part 5 of this series, we discuss the components of Goal Setting, Prioritizing, Strategizing and Planning with a Willing and Willful Attitude! After preparing clear, intentional goals for the New Year or any quarter of a given year, your attitude will ultimately keep you focused or take you off track! In order for any great plan to work, we must all be willing to put in the work-even if results are not immediate. A willful, steadfast spirit will keep you in the game and working towards the finish line.
Preparing for the New Year can seem exciting for some, but for other teachers, the thought of changing careers feels daunting. Although many teachers would love to have their own business, become a teacherpreneur or invest in their future selves, they lack the preparedness to move forward in beginning their micro-school, tutoring or homeschooling business. Searching for teacher career change needs careful thought, attention and intentionality.
In each episode, you will discover what needs to be defeated in order to be successful at your upcoming teacher career change. You will become more aware of what's "blocking" you, so you can step into true teacher freedom and true purpose for success and fulfillment.
Your Challenge: Print out the GPS Planning System Below! After each episode, block out 15-30 minutes to begin implementing the steps discussed in each of the podcast episodes. Be sure to have quiet time and a journal or notebook to write out your thoughts and ideas.

Hey, teacher friend!
It's easy to look all your teacher friends making moves and crushing their dreams and think, "Wow! They have it all together"! I can't even imagine leaving my teaching position, starting a new career, building a school, becoming an entrepreneur or working from home - I don't even know where to begin! But the truth is, we are all on an uphill journey and some of us do not know where we are going or how we will get there! We just choose to walk by faith and take the next step, even when we are afraid, lack vision, and feel stuck in the process - even when our friends or family look at us like we have lost our minds!!
Today I share a personal story of overcoming fear, Pursuing Your Teacher Dream When You Lack Direction, Vision, or Feel Stuck in Decision Making!
Let Your Light Shine,
Makenzie Oliver

Hey there, teacher friend!
It’s scary enough to put yourself in a new situation, change careers, transition into a new teaching path or start a business-but then to feel a lack of support from the people around you-total bummer! You’re not only worrying about getting your business off the ground; you’re also worrying whether people will react negatively or ask a ton of questions. When others don't see your vision, such as your spouse, friends or family, it can be lonely.
In today's episode, I share 2 Factors you must consider when it comes to sharing your teacher dream of starting a business. I share tips in presenting ideas to your spouse, family and/or friends. You can't make people support you, but you can work on YOURSELF! So today, buckle up buttercup...it's going to be a good one!

Hey, teacher friend!
One of the most frequent questions I get asked from teachers, regarding the start of their business is, "How do I collect tuition for my micro-school, homeschool or homeschooling business? Should I ask for full payments upfront, or do I request payments by the month or semester? What should be in my contract? " Well, let's get into some nitty gritty today!
Not only do we have to consider HOW we will collect payments, we need to FIRST identify HOW we will communicate our policy for collecting tuition and ways to set our business up for financial security. In addition, many teachers ask about payment plans, discount packages, incentives for paying in full, deposits, and ways to secure financial assets. These are all so imperative!
This is where contracts come in! Yes, today we discuss how contracts can help us communicate effectively and the policies needed for financial security. I also share my experience with collecting tuition payments, options for securing deposits and how to set your business up for success when it comes to all the moving money pieces!

Hi, teacher friend!
As teachers, we all know the requirements for record keeping, grading, progress monitoring and updating all the "system" information for our students. But one of the most frequent questions I get asked about a HOMESCHOOLING BUSINESS or a MICRO-SCHOOL is... "How do you keep records? What does it look like in this new teaching arena?"
And let me tell you, teacher friend, IT'S NOTHING like you've had to do before!! Get excited! But also...get informed!
And what a great question it is! Not matter what state, country or province you live in, you must follow state guidelines for homeschool requirements and homeschooling other children in your private tutoring business or micro-school. Today I answer some of the most frequent questions I receive in regards to testing, record keeping, grades and so forth!
"Do I keep the record, or do the parents?"
"Do I have to file annual reporting?"
"What does grading look like?"
"What are my state Requirements, Laws, and regulations?"
If you're new to this and feel overwhelmed with the legalities because you have "Never done this before!" I'm here to help!
Let Your Light Shine,
Makenzie Oliver

It’s time to ReDream Education!
My name is Makenzie Oliver. Microschool founder, VELA connector, educator, coach, and believer in the power of starting small, dreaming boldly, and rebuilding the future of education one courageous step at a time.
If you're here, it's because something in your life, your classroom, your family, your child, or your community, is asking for a new dream. A wiser dream. A ReDream. With ReDream Education, we challenge the old models, we rethink what learning can be, and we build innovative pathways for children, families, and communities.
In this weekly podcast, in our Facebook group, in our blog, and in our membership program, you will will gain systems, strategies, stories, and soul work you need to design personalized learning, understand how education is changing for the better, start or scale a micro-school, lead with confidence, make a change for your family, and create an education model that actually works for today's world; because you aren't just dreaming of something different - you are building it.
This is a place where we reinvision what school can be, reimagine how children learn, and rebuild the systems that were never designed to meet the needs of our future and current generation. With ReDream Education, we share insights, strategies, stories, and tools to teach our children better, transform learning at home, support innovative education models, and invest financially or personally in the future of students everywhere.
Because you aren't just dreaming about a better education, you are part of the movement to create.
This is where the future begins.
